A pregnant British teenager is set to be released from jail in Georgia after being held on drug smuggling charges, a lawyer has said.

Bella Culley, 19, of Billingham, County Durham, went missing in Thailand before flying to Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, in May, where she was arrested at the airport on arrival.

Georgian prosecutors say she was trying to smuggle 12kg of marijuana and 2kg of hashish in her luggage.

The verdict in her case is yet to be confirmed and is expected to be announced in court later on Monday.

Lawyers were considering a two-year sentence but "decided to consider the time she has already served", case prosecutor Vakhtang Tsalughelashvili told Associated Press.
